The curse of Voodoo takes command when the harnesses lock. Riders will be thrust back in their seats as Voodoo propels the 28 passengers into a 90 degree vertical ascent up the forward spike only to freefall in reverse through the station as Voodoo flaunts the fear for spectators. The LIMs kick in and the curse gets stronger as the train gains speed and races up the reverse spike. The next pass forward through the station will bring riders to a top speed of up to 70 mph as they head into the 184-foot helix. Once back through the station and up the reverse spike riders will find that time seems to stop for a split second so they can contemplate their eminent descent. After 2700 thrilling feet riders will leave jinxed with temptation to ride time and time again.
New to Dorney Park for 2008, the power of Voodoo will compel riders with new levels of excitement. Manufactured by thrill-artists Intamin, AG of Switzerland, the 704 feet of twisted steel will put all who challenge Voodoo under its spell to ride, and ride, and ride. The dueling towers of this U-shaped, suspended impulse coaster will possess riders when the Linear Induction Motors (LIMs) send them rocketing from one tower to another, taking them to new heights of velocity.
